There can’t be many better ways to mark Fiesta Nacional de España (National Day of Spain) than competing in the Hispanic Theatre Festival in London, and that is exactly what a group of Wellington College Spanish students did on Thursday 13 October.
The competition sees each school perform a ten minute vignette of a Spanish play which can be an original production created by the participants or a piece by a well-known playwright.
Congratulations to the entire team for performing ‘La casa de los espíritus’ by Isabel Allende. A brilliant evening finished with Sofia L winning ‘Best Spoken Spanish individual.’
In the students’ own words: “We found it very useful to speak Spanish outside the classroom in a playful environment. We enjoyed this journey so much that it has increased our passion for Spanish”
Sofia L added:
“The experience I had was transforming. I felt completely submerged in the Hispanic theatre and, who knows, maybe I shall be the next Antonio Banderas…”
